One of Vietnam’s top coastal resorts, The Anam Cam Ranh design was inspired by Vietnam’s bygone Indochine era. The resort’s romantic appeal draws on this particular epoch, evoking a nostalgic tone with its imperial-style roofs, lanterns, big-bellied water vases, decorative pools, customized mosaic floor tiles and stone pathways. Sublime accommodations include the Honeymoon Villa replete with a private pool, jacuzzi, and steam and sauna room.
